Lyrics:

(John Sebastian)
Verse 1:
Come and talk of all the things we did today
Here and laugh about our funny little ways
while we have a few minutes to breathe
and I know that it's time you must leave
Chorus:
But darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I
toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to
Verse 2:
And now a quarter of my life is almost passed
I think I've come to see myself at last
and I see that the time spent confused
was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom
[repeat chorus]
[repeat chorus]
Verse 3:
Go and beat your crazy head against the sky
try and see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's ok to shoot the moon
[repeat chorus, last line w/solo acoustic guitar]
Lovin' Spoonful Darling Be Home Soon
